XFC Vice President of Fight Operations Matt Frendo: "We were devastated for Kenny Cross when he suffered a very serious injury last year and had to pull out of the XFC's Lightweight Tournament, but we are incredibly excited to have him back inside the Hexagon, and taking on such a tough opponent like Jose Martinez. These guys are going to put on a show Dec. 10, and I can't wait for the world to witness."

XFC Majority Owner, Chairman & CEO Steve Smith said: "Kenny Cross is undoubtedly one of the most exciting and popular fighters we've seen in the XFC Hexagon, and Jose Martinez is surely his toughest challenge yet.
